What’s the going rate for a paper round these days?


50 papers a day for £5 seem reasonable?


That seems a bit little. When I was a paper boy I got more than that and that was four decades ago.

Mind, things are probably different these days. My morning paper is delivered in the middle of the night each day and I pay for the delivery through the paper subscription. No idea how it was back then compared to now. Nor indeed how things are in England for that matter. So my entire reply is pretty useless, really. Sorry.

I doubt they will check your online activity or limit your use of loo roll when working though.

Christ I used to get £7.50 for around 100 papers each morning and £8 for a Sunday and that was back in 89 mcolls at Dawdon and then when it went Asian I got asked to do 2 rounds together. Seems like the pay has gone down. It paid for me season ticket at roker and a pizza for me and me mate at the harbour pizza parlour after the match. Felt like I had lerds a money back then.
 
What's the craic with Saturdays,it was always Mon - sat and a Sunday for the money grabbers in the 80s.
He can't do weekends, if he did though he'd get about £18 a week!
